Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of moxifloxacin versus levofloxacin for the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods Such databases as PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and VIP were electronically searched, and the relevant conference proceedings were also hand-searched. The search time was up to July, 2011. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on moxifloxacin versus levofloxacin for AECOPD were included. Literature was screened according to inclusive and exclusive criteria, data were extracted, quality was assessed, and then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0. Results A total of 6 RCTs involving 482 patients with AECOPD were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that moxifloxacin group was significantly superior to levofloxacin group in the effective rate (OR=3.15, 95%CI 1.80 to 5.49, Plt;0.000 1). The bacterial clearance rate in moxifloxacin group was also higher than that in the levofloxacin group (OR=2.79, 95%CI 1.30 to 5.97, P=0.008). In addition, adverse effects of moxifloxacin group were less than levofloxacin (OR=0.48, 95%CI 0.24 to 0.98, P=0.04). Conclusion Based on current studies, moxifloxacin is superior to levofloxacin in improving effective rate and bacterial clearance rate, and in lowering side effects when treating AECOPD. Hence it is considerable to use moxifloxacin instead of levofloxacin in the treatment of AECOPD if necessary. Due to the limitation of both quantity and quality of included studies, this conclusion should be further confirmed with more high quality and large sample studies.

Methods From January 2004 to December 2009, the clinical data from 54 cases of SBP after cirrhosis were analyzed. The patients underwent the treatment of cefoperazone sulbactam combined with levofloxacin. The therapeutic effect was observed. Results The main clinical manifestations were fever and abdominal pain, and about half of the patients had the typical peritoneal irritation. Only a few patients had elevated peripheral white blood cells (WBC). The WBC count, abdominal effusion polymorphonuclearcyte count and bacteria cultivation were the indexes of diagnosis of SBP. Conclusion The clinical features of post-hepatitis cirrhosis complicated with SBP are not typical. The main pathogenic bacteria is G- bacilli. In the early diagnosis and treatment, cefoperazone sulbactam combined with levofloxacin is effective.
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of pazufloxacin for the treatment of moderate and severe acute bacterial respiratory infections.Methods A multicenter randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of pazufloxacin versus levofloxacin. Patients in the pazufloxacin group were treated with pazufloxacin (500 mg twice daily for 7 to 10 days), and patients in the levofloxacin group were treated with levofloxacin (300 mg twice daily for 7 to 10 days). Results A total of 134 patients were enrolled in the study, 68 cases in pazufloxacin group and 66 cases in levofloxacin group were assessable for clinical efficacy by full analysis set(FAS). At the end of the treatment, in FAS analysis the total cure rates and effective rates were 52.9% and 86.7% in pazufloxacin group, 57.6% and 87.9% in levofloxacin group, in PPS analysis the total cure rats and effective rates were 57.1% and 93.7% in pazufloxacin group respectively, 61.3% and 93.6% in levofloxacin group. The bacterial clearance rates were 92.5% and 94.3% respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Adverse reactions were observed in 16.2% of patients in the pazufloxacin group and in 16.7% of patients in the levofloxacin group. These reactions were mainly local stimulation, nausea and diarrhea. No serious adverse event was reported in either group. Conclusion Pazufloxacin is as effective and safe as levofloxacin for the treatment of moderate to severe acute respiratory infections.
